A pistol-packing burglar busted into Jonathan Haith’s home Monday morning. He probably didn’t expect the Vance County, North Carolina homeowner to one-up him with a semiautomatic gun.

According to WTVD, 23-year-old Gregory Johnson allegedly knocked on the door for 15 minutes. Haith says he was in bed and ignored him.

Then, he heard a boom and a thud. It turns out Johnson wasn’t selling magazine subscriptions after all. He was a burglar and kicked the door down.

But Haith was well prepared. He grabbed an AR-15 from under his bed and crept into the hallway.

“I peeked around the corner, saw a tall, slender black gentleman standing over me with a pistol,” the homeowner said.

Johnson allegedly fired at him and missed. Haith returned fire, striking the intruder’s shoulder and stomach.

Just like plenty of other cases in which an intruder faced an armed homeowner, this was enough to send Johnson fleeing. He made it to a nearby daycare facility before collapsing. An apparent getaway driver caught up with him and took him to a hospital.

According to the report, Johnson was treated and is now in prison. The alleged getaway driver is facing accessory charges.

But Haith seems to be doing just fine after the ordeal.

“Once-in-a-lifetime incident that I hope doesn’t happen again,” he said.
